Chin filler is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the projection, definition, and overall contour of the chin. By strategically injecting dermal fillers, most commonly hyaluronic acid-based, this treatment offers a versatile approach to addressing various aesthetic concerns related to the lower face.
Whether you seek to add subtle forward projection, create a more defined jawline transition, or correct minor chin asymmetries, we provide a precise and adaptable solution to help you achieve a stronger, more balanced facial profile.
Dermal fillers are highly effective injectable treatments that produce exciting results without disrupting your daily personal routine. The entire process will be over in about 45 minutes, making it an ideal “lunch break” procedure. We’ll keep you comfortable with a topical numbing cream while an expert injector utilizes a very fine-gauge needle to administer the fillers.
We’ll make the injections according to a treatment plan that you developed with Dr. Shermak, so you can look forward to results that directly align with your personal cosmetic goals. After the treatment, you’ll experience a bit of redness and tenderness in the treatment area, but these will quickly fade, and you’ll be able to return to your normal routine.
Chin filler is a remarkably effective treatment for addressing a range of aesthetic concerns impacting the lower face.
It can significantly improve the appearance of a receding or "weak" chin, enhance the overall balance of the facial profile, diminish the appearance of a double chin by improving definition, and correct subtle asymmetries in the shape of the chin. By artfully increasing projection and sculpting contours, chin fillers contribute to a more harmonious and assertive facial outline.
This treatment specifically addresses the mental crease (horizontal line below the lip), the tip of the chin for forward projection, and the pre-jowl sulcus to improve the jawline transition.
Opting for chin filler at Dr. Michele Shermak Plastic Surgery provides a range of compelling advantages for individuals seeking to enhance their lower facial aesthetics:
Achieve Enhanced Facial Harmony
Experience a transformation that brings your chin into greater balance with your nose and forehead. Fillers can subtly enhance chin projection, resulting in a more harmonious and aesthetically pleasing side profile, ensuring your features are proportionate and visually appealing.
Strengthen Your Jawline Definition
Beyond simply adding volume, chin fillers can dramatically improve the definition of the jawline by creating a smoother, more continuous line from the ear to the chin. This helps to reduce the appearance of jowls and create a sharper, more youthful lower facial contour.
Boost Self-Assuredness
For those self-conscious about a less prominent chin, this non-surgical enhancement can lead to a significant surge in confidence. Achieving a more defined and balanced profile can help you feel more confident and assured in your appearance.

Following your chin filler procedure, you may notice some temporary swelling, mild bruising, or tenderness at the injection sites. These typical effects usually subside within a few days. To support optimal healing and preserve your results, it's generally advised to avoid strenuous physical activity, extreme heat exposure (like saunas), and alcohol for the initial 24 to 48 hours.
Applying a cool compress gently to the treated area can help minimize any swelling. Our dedicated team at Dr. Michele Shermak Plastic Surgery will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a comfortable and effective recovery, allowing your refined profile to settle beautifully.
How Soon Will I See Results?
You will observe an immediate improvement in your chin's projection and contour right after the procedure. The fully settled and final results typically become apparent within one to two weeks, once any initial swelling has entirely resolved.
How Long Do Chin Filler Results Last?
The longevity of chin filler results varies, but most patients enjoy their enhanced profile for approximately 12 to 18 months, depending on the specific filler used and individual metabolism. Periodic touch-up sessions can help you maintain your desired chin projection and definition over time.

Dr. Shermak's philosophy prioritizes natural-looking enhancement. With her expert technique, the goal is always a subtle and balanced augmentation that complements your features, avoiding an artificial or disproportionate appearance.
